❤️How does your heart feel? ❤️
:
In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is said to store the spirit.
:
The energy of Your heart and energy of your spirit are directly connected to the health of your menstrual cycle.
:
A blocked heart, past hurts, or any emotional disturbances that have yet to be healed influence the health of your cycle, and can impact fertility. Not to mention the health of your relationships.
:
The process of healing pain, and emotional wounds of the heart is not to be taken lightly. However, it is the brave endeavor of opening the heart that you will find more more love, both for yourself and others, more fluidity, both in your cycle and in life, and just maybe crack open enough to make a whole new being from shining light on the dark that wants to be seen, felt, and heard.
:
As a woman obsessed with periods, I was fascinated to learn how not only our physical health, but emotional health can influence our cycles.
:
Just more evidence to support slowing down, paying attention to how we feel, and listening to our bodies is essential to creating a life in flow. And a life in flow with our cycle is directly connected to how we feel. #brilliant :

🍂✨Fall Bounty
Our tiny quince tree blessed us with so many fruits this year! I am always amazed at the strength of tiny branches carrying such weight…
Seasonal eating is a wonderful way of being in sync with nature, as Earth provides us with the medicines that can be used for common ailments that present during certain seasons.
Quinces have antioxidant and antiviral properties, and are packed with some great stuff that helps boost metabolism and protect against colds + flus. Sour and slightly warm in flavour, they are the perfect fruit for Fall season; strengthening the Lungs, opening channels, and relaxing the sinews.
As a kid, I thought quinces were magic, since they gelatinize upon cooking due to their high pectin content. In Turkish folk medicine, quinces are used to stop diarrhea. In Chinese Medicine, they are indicated for transforming damp and enter the Spleen channel (aka diarrhea). And the internet tells me pectin is great for … yep, stopping diarrhea.
I already made some marmalade, some Turkish quince dessert, and attempted to make quince liqueur, and we still have over twenty quinces! Recipes? Ideas?
Happy foggy Wednesday ✨🍂

The air was so cold when I went out to feed the animals this morning I decided to gather the rest of the herbs before it was too late. The dehydrator will be busy the next couple of days. Herbs were not on my list this morning, but lately I’ve been noticing what a tyrant a list can be. Lists make me feel like I’m always behind, and I find myself rushing through the day, pushing towards the next check off. “Hurry up” is not a way I want to live. The other deficit of a list is there’s no space for relationship. Sometimes you need to stand in the kitchen and let an hour go by while you talk. Sometimes you need to take a long walk with a child who has an unexpected day off. My nature is to not live by prescription but by response, flexible and adaptive to the moment. That is how we are designed, I think, with minds and bodies tuned to rhythms of earth and spirit, conforming ourselves to the dance of each day - if we don’t dull our spirits too much with our mechanized, artificial, rigid theologies/habits/practices/cultures. I’m only just beginning to grasp the beauty of that. It’s a glimmer I catch out of the corner of my eye more and more frequently. So much left to learn and I’m halfway through this life. 💚

Another full moon 🌕🌕🌕another rough few days and random bout of sickness. Things often come to the surface around this time so we can see them clearly, but it isn’t always pretty 😐 heard a great explanation for this recently: it’s like being in a bar or club, having a wicked time partying, and then it’s kick out time. Suddenly the lights go on and you see everything as it actually is-and the reality often looks QUITE different to what you thought it was! So if you’ve been feeling a bit off or uncomfortable these last few days, def blame the moon. ☺️

How you treat your body is an earthly representation of your relationship with Christ. Suggestion: treat your body like it's borrowed- would you want your friend to borrow your shirt and hand it back stretched out? Borrow your car and return it with a dent or without gas #R .U.N?#mind#body#spirit#LivingInSync#priceless

Sometimes I forget the importance of sharing about the things that scare me, so I did it. It's important to keep it real - it's not all rainbows and butterflies but there sure as shit are gifts in every fear.
New blog post 'Fear Gifts' is up on LivingInSync now lovers!
